I was experimenting with different head styles on this new teddy design.
This first Popcorn teddy has very short muzzle which reminded me of an Ewok (from Star Wars). I think it is very sweet but this is a one-of-a-kind head! So this is your only chance to adopt one of my teddies that may or may not be related to an Ewok.

This is one of my large mink puppies that was created by Special Request.

I used one of my favorite minks for this puppy ... Crosscut mink ...
which is a white mink with back spots and back hairs scattered randomly in the white.Please note:Crosscut mink is a rare mink to find ... this is a ONE OF A KIND puppy.I will not accept any other Special Requests for another Crosscut mink puppy because I just don'thave anymore vintage crosscut mink and I don't have the time to search for any.

Embroidered, waxed, sculpted and sealed nose

This puppy is wearing a removable collar with a glass heart

6 joints including a double jointed neck

glass eyes with white ultrasuede sclera
gently hand painted details

Molly (photos below) was the inspiration for using this crosscut mink
and placing the back hairs on the back.
